With the new football season in full swing, professional clubs all across the country are on the lookout for the next football superstar that has what it takes to play at the elite level. The FootieBugs Academy is a children’s football academy in Solihull and is the perfect place to be to uncover these stars.
The FootieBugs Academy running in Solihull is an elite training programme for children aged between 5 and 11. We work and have connections with scouts from professional clubs across the whole of the UK.
Whether it is the red of Liverpool, the blue of Chelsea, or any top English that your child dreams of wearing in the future, the FootieBugs Academy is possibly the first step on the ladder to reach that dream.
With the ability to feed into almost every professional club in the country, FootieBugs is in the perfect position to ensure that when your child is ready, they will be given every opportunity to be noticed by the all the professional clubs’ academy set ups not only locally, but also nationally.
And we do mean nationally, for example should a northern based club such as Manchester United, Manchester City or Everton or southern based club such as Chelsea, Tottenham or Arsenal show an interest, then they would send along their local scout to watch the player during either a FootieBugs training session or a FootieBugs match against another academy.
On a more local basis the relationship FootieBugs has with championship side Birmingham City has even led to the FootieBugs Academy being the only academy to supply players to the BCFC academy.
One of the key reasons that all the top clubs work with FootieBugs, is that FootieBugs has an excellent reputation for not only spotting talent but also nurturing this talent through our impressive academy training programmes.
Given that all FootieBugs academy sessions are run in line with the top clubs’ own academy training programmes, it is not unusual to see a number of guest coaches from the different professional clubs taking the sessions or advising players.
During FootieBugs sessions, which are coached age appropriately, our expert coaches introduce children of a more advanced ability in their age group to the more technical and tactical aspects of the game. Through different drills, matches against local clubs and homework skills, FootieBugs Academy children will gain the confidence and experience that will catch the eyes of professional club scouts that attend our sessions.
Recently, the FootieBugs children’s football academy in Solihull was featured on Made in Birmingham TV. They came to find out all about the academy and chat with FootieBugs Manager Ashley Sammons. You can find the video on catch up here.
The FootieBugs children’s football academy in Solihull is also an official partner of BBC Get Inspired. Together, we are working to increase children’s activity levels and get them into playing sport and improve their skills.
We run the academy at West Warwickshire Sports Club in Solihull on Thursdays and Fridays.
